André Weil (; 6 May 1906 – 6 August 1998 ) was an influential French mathematician of the 20th century, renowned for the breadth and quality of his research output, its influence on future work, and the elegance of his exposition.

The philosopher Simone Weil was his sister.

His only sibling was Simone Weil, a famous philosopher.

Weil was mistakenly arrested in Finland at the outbreak of the Winter War suspected of spying ; however, accounts of his life having been at danger have been shown to be exaggerated.

Weil returned to France via Sweden and the United Kingdom, and was detained at Le Havre in January 1940.

Mordell's theorem had an ad hoc proof ; Weil began the separation of the infinite descent argument into two types of structural approach, by means of height functions for sizing rational points, and by means of Galois cohomology, which was not to be clearly named as that for two more decades.

Weil realized that to prove such a connection one needed a new cohomology theory, but neither he nor any other expert saw how to do this until such a theory was found by Grothendieck.

This program culminated in the proofs of the Weil conjectures, the last of which was settled by Grothendieck's student Pierre Deligne in the early 1970s after Grothendieck had largely withdrawn from mathematics.

This cohomology theory was known as the " Weil cohomology ", but using the tools he had available, Weil was unable to construct it.

Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571, at the Free Imperial City of Weil der Stadt ( now part of the Stuttgart Region in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, 30 km west of Stuttgart's center ).

Originally named Schleisingerville after the founder, state senator Baruch Schleisinger ( Weil ) in 1857, it was shortened during the 1920s to Slinger, a nickname which was already in common usage by the area residents.

Weil immigrated from France, not Germany, while the population of Slinger itself was of predominantly German ancestry at the time of the name change.

: Weil, so schließt er messerscharf / Nicht sein kann, was nicht sein darf.

The first of the Weil conjectures was proved by Bernard Dwork, and a completely different proof of the first two conjectures via l-adic cohomology was given by Alexander Grothendieck.

The conjecture attracted considerable interest when suggested that the Taniyama – Shimura – Weil conjecture implies Fermat's Last Theorem.

Simone Weil who fought for the French resistance ( the Maquis ) argued in her final book The Need for Roots: Prelude to a Declaration of Duties Towards Mankind that for society to become more just and protective of liberty, obligations should take precedence over rights in moral and political philosophy and a spiritual awakening should occur in the conscience of most citizens, so that social obligations are viewed as fundamentally having a transcendent origin and a beneficent impact on human character when fulfilled.

Herta Schiel would remain in Paris throughout the war, where she would make acquaintance with the physician Jacques Weil when he was called upon to treat her sister Molly for the then-incurable tuberculosis ( TB ).

The park was established in 1945 when land on the south side of the river was donated by Lionel Weil and other individuals through the Wayne Foundation.

The disease was first described by Adolf Weil in 1886 when he reported an " acute infectious disease with enlargement of spleen, jaundice, and nephritis.

Zero defeats Weil on Ragnarok but is seemingly killed when he is unable to escape the falling satellite of Ragnarok.

The conjecture attracted considerable interest when Frey ( 1986 ) suggested that the Taniyama – Shimura – Weil conjecture implies Fermat's Last Theorem.

In the early 1970s Weil gave a series of seminars on the history of number theory prior to the 20th century and he remarked that Siegel once told him that when the first person discovered the simplest case of Faulhaber's formula then, in Siegel's words, " Es gefiel dem lieben Gott.

Dr. Weil used wines ranging from four to 17 years beyond their vintage with 240 wine drinkers and found that the tasters could not distinguish between wines of good and bad vintages, ( except for Bordeaux wines ), and even when they could make a distinction, the match between the tasters ' individual assessments and the charts ' rankings were little better than tossing a coin.

Weil stated the messages were " friendly banter " and of a " mentoring kind ... 99 percent " were benign and school related, but acknowledged how some messages could be seen as " questionable ", especially such messages regarding the students uniform as " hot " or replying " sounds hot " when the student said he was taking probiotic supplements.

In general Cartier behave better than Weil divisors when the variety has singular points.

" MAKANNA " is held under the auspices of Sir Tom Stoppard and Václav Havel to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the birth of Jiří Weil ( 1900 – 1959 ) and as part of the " Daniel Pearl World Music Days ".

While lacking the financial capital and big money race-team backing like that of the Japanese factories of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki, Maico riders such as Adolf Weil, Åke Jonsson and Willy Bauer proved to be a serious challenge to the Japanese factories and produced numerous top three finishes in both World and US Championship motocross competitions.

Classics writer Simone Weil ranked the conduct of the Gracchi second out of all the known cases of good hearted conduct recorded by history for classical Rome, ahead of the Scipios and Virgil.

Given that finite fields are discrete in nature, and topology speaks only about the continuous, the detailed formulation of Weil ( based on working out some examples ) was striking and novel.

A conjecture of André Weil was that the Tamagawa number was always 1 for a simply connected G. This arose out of Weil's modern treatment of results in the theory of quadratic forms ; the proof was case-by-case and took decades, the final steps were taken by Robert Kottwitz in 1988 and V. I.

The terminology may be due to Weil, who wrote his Basic Number Theory ( 1967 ) in part to work out the parallelism.

With Copy X out of the way, Weil assumes command of Neo Arcadia and uses the Dark Elf and Omega to seize control of all Reploids.

They might be quoting Simone Weil who wrote: “ There is a natural alliance between truth and affliction, because both of them are mute supplicants, eternally condemned to stand speechless in our presence .” And they are exemplary because, in face of such inevitable speechlessness, they remind us of the need to speak out in protest, the protests of the dead and the living.

The so-called Weil conjectures were hugely influential from around 1950 ; they were later proved by Bernard Dwork, Alexander Grothendieck, Michael Artin, and Pierre Deligne, who completed the most difficult step in 1973.

Perhaps the one purely negative trait Weil acquired from her family home was an obsession with cleanliness ; in her later life she would sometimes speak of her " disgustingness " and think that others would see her this way, despite that fact that in her youth she was considered highly attractive.

In 1928, Weil finished first in the entrance examination for the École Normale Supérieure ; Simone de Beauvoir, her more long-lived and famous peer, finished second .< ref >

To see the relation of these sets to the Weil conjectures, notice that if α and are both in, then there exist x and y in Z / pZ such that x < sup > 3 </ sup > = α and y < sup > 3 </ sup > = α + 1 ; consequently, x < sup > 3 </ sup > + 1 = y < sup > 3 </ sup >.

On September 9, 1912, Estrada confessed to THE NEW YORK TIMES the origin of this money: he had been given a million dollars by the Yankee companies located in Nicaragua ; two hundred thousand dollars from the firm of Joseph Beers and one hundred fifty thousand dollars from Samuel Weil.

He wrote important works on the ancient kingdoms of Asia Minor – Trois royaumes de l ' Asie Mineure, Cappadoce, Bithynie, Pont ( 1888 ), Mithridate Eupator ( 1890 ); also a critical edition and translation with H Weil of Plutarch's Treatise on Music ; and an Histoire des Israélites depuis la ruine de leur indépendance nationale jusqu ' à nos jours ( 2nd ed., 1901 ).

Philosopher Simone Weil also lived here ; upon contracting tuberculosis she was moved to a sanatorium at Kennington, and declared the town " a beautiful place to die ", later being recognised by the town's council naming a section of the A28 road after her.
